At Molineux, Wolves have won two, drawn two and lost just one – against Villa. But against Arsenal, their recent record is poor.

Arsenal have won both trips to Molineux in the Premier League, scoring seven goals in the process.

They have won their last 10 games against Wolves in all competitions. And since they last lost there in the League, in January 1978, they have won five and drawn one of six.

Arsenal have won just two of their five away games this season and scored just seven goals outside of the Emirates Stadium.

Wolves could be unchanged with Jody Craddock still getting back to fitness after recovering from a hip injury, while Ronald Zubar is out with an ankle complaint. Adlene Guedioura’s broken leg makes him a long-term absentee. Michael Kightly is recovering from an operation on his knee.

Laurent Koscielny will miss the game after seeing his appeal against his sending-off against Newcastle dismissed.

Should goalkeeper Manuel Almunia recover from an elbow injury, he could replace Lukasz Fabianski in goal. Andrie Arshavin is also pushing for a start after coming off the bench on Saturday, although the best fellow forward Robin Van Persie (ankle) can hope for is another substitute appearance.

Last season: Wolves 1 Arsenal 4, Arsenal 1 Wolves 0.

Stat of the game: Laurent Koscielny’s red card on Sunday was the 78th dismissal during the reign of Arsène Wenger.

Betting tip: With their record, Arsenal should win. They’ll be angry enough so try a 2-1 away win at 7-1.
